Don't worry I'm not bringing a dog!! Lol. I understand the concerns and I am truly sorry there have been so many issues regarding dogs and their owners. I am a responsible curious hiker. I'd like to visit and camp at the springs, but have only just heard about them from a friend. I'm curious if there's anyone who knows when the best times/seasons are to stay overnight up there. I fear I might already be too late to take an adventure up there this year. Unless someone says otherwise? Thanks :)
